    Hope it's an outboard and all it is, is a spun prop. If it's an I/O, I hope it's only a spun prop. I had the rubber I/O spline go once. That was a project. Good luck & let us know. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Colder water has been moving in however if you're referring to the "coastwatch" site, don't believe the grey areas. Gray areas are clouded over and signal doesn't penetrate very well. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Welcome to the site. We're all in the learning mode. Which of the fingers have you visited? Tom B. (LongLine)

    It's perfectly legal to ship lead in New York. What's illegal is to use any packaging materials that contain lead. i.e. the box, paper, wrapping tape, string, etc. cannot contain lead. The packaging materials eventually end up in a dump somewhere and that's what the environmentalists are all worried about. It is however, expensive to ship regular mail as it's heavy. Tom B.

    The end where the eyes are closest to is the front. Originals came with a barrel swivel and a double hook attached on the front split ring. Trailing hooks was a treble. Spinner sounds like it may be a June-bug type, but would have to see a picture. The red eye wigglers originally came in Silver plate (real silver), gold and copper. (I still have a couple in my box - near and dear to me) In my collection, I also have 5 wooden flatfish from the 40's and some real ABU spinners from the early 50's. All near & dear to me. Tom B.

    Silver bullet J-plug is an old standby & still popular today. Hofschnieder used to make the redeye wiggler which is still a great pike & walleye lure. I think made by eppinger today. If you have one stamped by hofschnieder, it's definitely "vintaqe." Tom B. (LongLine)

    WTG UNREEL! It's the thought that counts. HT - I hope it's not serious & you can back out there. Tom B. (LongLine)

    You have to remember the period of low water we had then all of a sudden it came up almost a couple of feet. I'm sure this is a major factor. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Suggest you never free spool. Very light drag with no clicker. Tighten drag just enough as you're putting some tension on the line to bend the rod over. Then put clicker on. Fish hits then grab rod & clicker off. Tom B. (LongLine)

    You may want to go a little deeper. Like 200+. Also never troll in a straight line - always zig-zag. There's been a lot of reports of short hits so definitely vary your speed. Tom B. (LongLine)

    It's never smart to run an un-balanced prop. Props are cheap compared to a shaft, seal & bearing job. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Next time you see a screen like that, run to you rigg'r, grab you rod and give it a big jerk. This will" pop the release" & your lure will flutter up to the surface. Often nails a fish if you're running Black's style releases. With pinch pads, you might just wear out your rubber. If a fish doesn't hit it, at least it'll work off some of your frustration and you might as well change lure anyways. Tom B. (LongLine) (Man, I can hear the snickers about jreking off in the back of the boat now.)

    I find it amazing that some fishermen feel they have to fish in as tight a school as they erroneously believe the fish are in. The best fishing is most often outside of the pack. I also find it amazing that paying customers would have any respect for any charter captain that lost his cool like that, regardless of the circumstances. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Hold it over the side for a moment or two with its head into the current, then let go.t. Fish are hardier than you think. Most will survive. Over the years, I've caught salmon that had their jaws in 3 pieces and some even missing eyes. Some I've released come floating back up but when I circle & just touch them with the net, they flip over & scoot back down. Somehow the great majority survive. Tom B. (LongLine)

    What you need to do is look at four or 5 different weather sites. Most have an archive for the last week or so. Also most try to predict a couple days in advance. Look for patterns. Also look at national radars so you can see what's forming west of us. Another thing is to realize is that where you are on the lake. Look at wind direction. The more water the wind blows over, the larger the waves at that port. Tom B. (LongLine)

    I'd start with some full body natural plugs, then change up to some fat-mag type spoons. All trolled very slowly & near the bottom. Tom B. (LongLine)

    South Shore - Eastern Basin. If spinning, I'd go 7 1/2-8ft medium. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Nearshore water is pretty warm right now. Trout & salmon out deep. If you get out well before dawn you may run into a brown or two. Otherwise head east up to the point & you may run into some bass & a home-body Brown. Check out the 30-60 ft depth. Tom B. (LongLine)
